A driver wedged his sedan under an unloaded school bus near Skyview High School not long before classes ended Tuesday, disrupting traffic but resulting in no significant injuries.

Clark County sheriff’s deputies and emergency personnel were called to Northwest 11th Avenue and 139th Street to find a white Toyota Camry wedged under a school bus. No children were on board, Vancouver Public Schools spokeswoman Pat Nuzzo said.

The sheriff’s office said the sedan’s driver was heading west on 139th and crashed into the bus as he turned south onto 11th. No tickets were issued, the sheriff’s office said, and no one was hurt.

According to emergency radio traffic monitored at The Columbian, the crash created a mess for traffic trying to get around or off campus as school was getting out.

Nuzzo said the bus had just dropped off students who were returning from a field trip.
